Unique variety of khasi mandarin oranges. Khasi mandarin (Citrus reticulata) is a unique fruit cultivated in the Indian state of Meghalaya.
The mandarins are somewhat larger than a tennis ball. They are bright orange in color, while on the inside, there is a sweet, aromatic juice. The fruits are traditionally harvested between November and February, and the villagers use a woven bamboo tool for collecting the mandarins, allowing them to gently pick the fruit without any damage.
Interestingly, according to a local belief, Khasi mandarin possesses the ability to calm angry people, so it is often given as a present to make up for past offenses.
